Fibrinogen Maracaibo: Hypo-Dysfibrinogenemia Caused by a Heterozygous Mutation in the Gen that Encodes for the Fibrinogen Aα Chain (G.1194G>A: P.Gly13>Glu) with Diminished Thrombin Generation
Abstract:Inherited fibrinogen disorders affect either the quantity (hypofibrinogenemia, fibrinogen levels <150 mg/dL) and afibrinogenemia, characterized by the complete deficiency of fibrinogen or the quality of the circulating fibrinogen (dysfibrinogenemia) or both (hypo-dysfibrinogenemia) [5]. Up to date, approximately 115 mutations have been reported that cause dysfibrinogenemia, 67 hypofibrinogenemia, 75 afibrinogenemia, and 13 hypodysfibrinogenemia; 101 in the Aα, 63 in the Bβ and 93 in the γ chain. About 50% of a… Show more
